About the host
Hosted by Sarah Griffiths
A little about us…
I grew up in Devon on a traditional dairy farm, so the rhythm of countryside life has always been part of who I am. Fresh air, muddy boots, and wide open spaces feel like home to me.
I met my husband, who is Somerset born and bred, and this is where we’ve chosen to put down roots. Together we have two teenage boys, Freddie and Charlie, and as a family we love the outdoors — whether that’s long countryside walks, time in the garden, or simply enjoying the peaceful surroundings we’re lucky enough to live in.
Before running the holiday let, I worked as a nurse for many years — a career I’m incredibly proud of. Eventually, I felt it was time for a new chapter: something that would allow me to work from home, be present for family life, and spend more time walking my spaniel through the beautiful Somerset countryside that surrounds us.
Creating a welcoming space for guests feels like a natural extension of who we are — we genuinely love sharing this special little corner of Somerset and hope you enjoy it as much as we do.
Why they chose this property
When we were deciding where to settle, Stathe felt like home almost immediately. Tucked away in the Somerset countryside, it offers the peace and space of rural life while still being wonderfully connected to everything we need. There’s a calmness here that’s hard to put into words — big skies, open fields, and a slower pace that encourages you to properly switch off.
One of the things we love most is being so close to the beautiful River Parrett. The riverside walks are stunning in every season — peaceful morning strolls with the dog, golden sunsets over the water, and the ever-changing wildlife along the banks. It’s one of our favourite ways to unwind and appreciate just how lucky we are to live here.
We’re also only a short distance from the charming market town of Langport. Its traditional independent shops are a real treasure — the kind of places where you’re greeted with a smile and can browse at your leisure. We’re truly spoilt for choice when it comes to pubs, restaurants, and cafés too, whether it’s a relaxed coffee, a cosy pub lunch, or an evening meal with friends.
For us, Stathe offers the perfect balance — peaceful countryside living with a vibrant and welcoming town just minutes away. It’s a special place, and we feel very fortunate to call it home.
What makes this property unique
Step inside and feel instantly at ease. Our holiday let combines the warmth of home with thoughtful touches of luxury. Sleep soundly in super-king beds dressed in 100% cotton bedding, relax in beautifully decorated rooms, and enjoy a space designed for comfort and style.
Every corner has been carefully prepared to make your stay special — from the inviting lounge to the peaceful garden — giving you the perfect balance of homely charm and indulgent comfort.
